Thanks Thomas. Ill try that

Hi there! Thanks for your patience, if you need a list of all the keyword and their labels, there's a few ways to accomplish that: 1. From our rankings dashboard, simply look to the right of the screen and find the drop down.  From there select "full rankings report to CSV."  http://screencast.com/t/iVMLE1UZvcTk . After that simply hit export then we will compile a CSV for you with your latest list of keywords plus all the data associated with them. 2. Same method as above, you can also export your whole entire history of into a CSV.  Simply choose the last option on the drop down menu stated "Entire keyword ranking history to CSV."  Simply hit export, our system will then take a few hours and produce every keyword you ever track since the beginning of your campaign. Hope that was helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions about our tool ~Peter SEOmoz Help Team.

Arh - offcourse. I was looking at our default domains robots.txt. Thank you

I would try to give the customers looking for the old brand names and their services as much as possible the ultimate landing page. This is for SEO and customer value. So having a customer land on a page -this is old find the new- is not optimal. Make sure that from this "brand" page you direct them to the specific vacation they were looking for based on the old brand. I would not direct the value to the homepage. The homepage generally does not rank for all keywords.  You need the content. You will prevent the dampening factor to kick in if you make the pages anchor text /brand correct.

To bad this case got closed. Cause it ain't fixed yet. I'm still unable to add more than one twitter account to compare against ...

I just wanted to follow up with you in this thread too, per your request in your help team ticket. Unfortunately, universal results still aren't working. We tried to fix this about 1.5 weeks ago, but ran into some other problems.  I've just checked with our engineers, though, and we hope to have this fix in place by the end of the week.  I'll update this thread again as soon as we know more! Cheers!

It is actually kind of nice to realize you need to do stuff on your own I want to block this page: _http://www.spies.dk/country/resort/rejsemalstips_ I wont to allow these pages: _http://www.spies.dk/country/resort/rejsemalstips?TravelTipId=xxxxxx_ _http://www.spies.dk/country/resort/rejsemalstips-liste_ FIX: Allow: /rejsemalstips?

Hey there, Thanks for jumping in Doug. You're spot on. The Rankings we display for your page as exactly what Google displays when we pull the SERP. It has nothing to do with your sites status (whether up or down) and has everything to do with what Google says you rank at. I do see that it's also been about 16 days since those rankings were pulled (thanks so a Server failure). You should be seeing new rankings in the next few days. In the meantime. I checked in the Rank Tracker tool and see that your rankings appear to have gained some ground and are back around 17-20+. This is of course one of the things that makes my job so fun and you SEOs so important. Google is extremely volatile and likes to change things all the time. Check out this site we set up to monitor algorithm changes at Google. http://mozcast.com I hope that helps clear things up. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, Joel.

I guess it depends on what is the intention behind these pages? Are you attempting to get more traffic for search? Or, are these pages simply for people visiting the site? If it is more about people and not search engines, I wouldn't really worry about the duplicate content issues (provided the pages make sense to users). Adding a nofollow to the links referencing these pages (and a noindex,follow on these pages) will prevent Google from crawling unnecessary pages and indexing unnecessary pages. I've had similar situations come up (it always seems to on large sites). Typically what I've tried to do is identify which pages have the best shot at getting activity within the search results (based on keyword research, link research, etc.). On those pages, I do everything I can to have really unique content that sets those pages apart (I'm talking bigger scale changes, as opposed to geo-targeting changes). For the other pages where there isn't such a great chance with search engines, I use the nofollow tag to prevent Google from accessing those pages. That seems to help keep the focus for SEO on the right pages.

I'm glad to hear the issue seems to be gone! Definitely let us know if you see it happening again. Best of luck, Chiaryn

Have you recently made any changes to an affiliate program or banner ads campaign? An extra 100,000 links is actually pretty easy to come by - it could be one site with dynamically generated pages linking to you. I wouldn't be too worried about this but you may want to look into it for your own peace of mind. With regard to your linking root domains dropping - do you have any records that show what type of sites have been removed? It could be that you had a lot of directory links which Google has removed from the index. If this drop in LRDs hasn't already led to a drop in rankings then, again, I wouldn't worry about it but you may want to look into it further for your own peace of mind.

It's kinda strange. I would expect all URLs blocked by robots.txt to NOT show up anywhere on Seomoz.

A canonical tag tells the search engine to give credit to another page, where you have duplicates you can say that this is the page i want to give credit for this content. Prev and next tell goolge to give the credit for all the content on a series of pages to the one page, usually page one. You can use a canonical with a prev and next when you have other parrameters such as sortby=???, this would say that no matter how you sort this page, i want you to only see the canonical version, and that all the credit for all the canonical versions of these pages should be give to page one

Hi Robert Yes, language is kind of a barrier in this case And yes #2 are doing very well. They have a lot of content. And content is king. But we have our brand name and travelling is not just travelling (guides, quality, transfer, flights)  - so i think many users read their content, but order a package in other companies, like us. They are focused on the DIY-group of travellers. Danish is actually such a small language that only 5 million people are fluent. Its amazing we can keep up the company running with a danish website ... I just found another funny thing about this "rejser til gran canaria" keyword. On SeoMoz's ranking report i clearly show as "rank 1" on Google and "rank 2" on Bing and Yahoo. So SeoMoz actually read the data that is provided as we should be number 1 on that particular searchphrase ... Under the help-section SeoMoz writes that the ranking shown on page can be different from what i experience using google due to personalization. But even when i'm logged out from google and have flushed my cache i end up #9 on google. SeoMoz suggest adding the "&pws=0" to the google url to prevent any personalization. But that doesn't help either. So something is not rigth! Regards, Alsvik Oh - and sorry for the name switch. My name is Alsvik. The old name reffered to the creator of the account.

Thanks again. Will try to email seomoz Actually i found the answer on the rankings-page help section. I use my competitors domainname without www. Adding the prefix fixed it!
